Thirsty lad desperate for booze breaks into bar using beer keg in the middle of the night

Captured on CCTV as he tried to get inside the watering hole, the man could be seen throwing the metal keg repeatedly at the doors before eventually cracking the glass.

Attempting to awkwardly climb through the hole left by his handiwork, the desperate guy ended up spreadeagled on the floor.

Ironically, as soon as the man finally managed to get inside, the door sprung open anyway.

Despite having his property – on Australia’s Gold Coast – vandalised, the owner of the bar isn’t angry with the wayward drinker.

In fact, Howl at the Moon co-owner Lou Cerantonio said the CCTV footage “made my morning” and left him and police “rolling around on the floor in laughter”.

GET ME A DRINK: The ungainly bloke tries to crawl through the hole in the glass door

“The poor bugger just wanted a drink”

Lou said that in 25 years of hospitality he had never seen anything like it.

He said: “It was the funniest thing. There was no intent of doing anything harmful other than the barrel going through the door. It was almost of innocence.

“The poor bugger just wanted a drink.”

According to Lou, the hapless bloke even found his way to the unstaffed bar and stood there, expecting to be served.

When he realised that no one was there to help him, he apparently left without taking anything.

BRIGHT IDEA: The man used a keg to smash the glass

Lou added that the alleged perpetrator – a 41-year-old who lives near Brisbane – handed himself into police and even offered to pay for any damage.

Although Lou said he wasn’t interested in pressing charges, police confirmed the man was charged with entering a premise with intent and is scheduled to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on August 26.

Meanwhile, Brit tourists are also hoping for their fair share of booze as they head to party destinations this summer.
